Explosion protection comprises a comprehensive system of measures and devices designed to safeguard industrial operations against the effects of explosions. These elements include flame arresters, explosion vent panels, active explosion suppression systems, and venting systems. These technologies not only mitigate the consequences of an explosion but, in some cases, can even prevent one entirely.
Explosion protection is essential in facilities that handle flammable gases, dusts, or explosive mixtures — such as silos, mills, chemical production plants, or wood processing facilities where combustible dust is present.
